After tireless, exhaustative and selfless research, the students of the biology and sociology departments of Westminster University, London, have proved the existence of passive drinking.

“It’s 'kin amazin’, like. Ya go inta bar, rite, wiv ya mates, rite, and hey presto, and afta only six hours, im f***in’ hammad” said Tracy Yates, one of the many volunteers on the project
The study so far lasting 4 years, kept the group in various hostelries and erotic dance establishments every night, working relentlessly on achieving their project objectives.

“It’s not absolutely cut and dry as yet,” said Alfie Maltings, project leader “but we are working both night and day to reach a conclusion in our research. Of course when I say day and night, it is mainly night as we are usually too wrecked to make it to campus during the day time. I would like to also thanks both the art history and philosophy departments, who have, over the years, been with us every step of the way”

By way of a bonus, the project also discovered extreme passive weight gain caused by kebabs and the battered sausages ‘n’ chips that was consumed after each and every study period.
"This important work wouldn’t have been possible without tax payers beer vouchers … er I mean funding, of course. Ha ha silly me" said the project leader.

The project is funded by the Dept of Education, The student union and J.D. Wetherspoons.
